Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga
By Tayla Drago
Episode # 2 – Strange Bedfellows
Phase # 2 – Whole New World
As I've escaped from the old world I once call it 'home' without looking back, I felt different being somewhere else and to find that human woman with any luck. No longer being the prince to one kingdom of a different race of being that won't except us, my so call father was always telling me on what to do, falling from the same fate in my past, and such…No! For I've made friends to come and to love Assiah of humans than I do in my awful home world being Gehenna. Not for me that is. I've see things to love life even more if it wasn't for my closes friends of different species; being Sir Pheles and Father Fujimoto. Maybe with their help and guiding me from all of us been through, maybe there's hope for me yet to live a better life on my own. I don't care of betraying my kind, or so they think. I just want to see…No wait! I want to be with her. That's all I ever want to do.
And…Scene!
Remember the weird looking shadow demon-like bat name Poka who was spying on Rin, Kiyomi, and the others on the train? He makes his way to somewhere unknown to have a word with the master mind behind the stealing of the Impure King's Left Eye to get the Right one next 'for Todo and a few more are working for him', the Shadow King himself. Looks like he was watching from afar to be in a war right now…All of this because his late son Kazu fell in love with Kagome Saki to have a daughter? What gives? Also… 'when did Kai became a half related to the family mix with the succubus murder her own father or just the two lovers'? Hmm…Poka reports on what's going on to his king to be loyal as other bad Shadow Demons were within the walls to be hanging out all over this hideout-place looking so weird to be in. So much to learn about in this one that we don't know about just yet and so on later I bet.
"Master! Master" Poka calls out to his king. "Master! Poka's come back to report! Poka has news!"
This Shadow King was a giant with deep dark eyes of evil with nothing else in it, looking muscular, dark color skin or armor all over his body, grin with the sharp teeth in his mouth, spikes sticking out of his shoulders and arms, with sharp claws, long legs, and he was very deadly to be beaten in battle to never lose; not to mention he was the master of all control of shadows within his grasp to his control all to be in his army by force to use dark magic as well. This is one higher rank demons compare to the Impure King himself and Satan too, so why does this Demon King of Shadows want to revive the Impure King?
"Poka…" said the king to not sounding like he cared. "What is it now?"
"Master. Poka has return to report back as your faithful servant of researching and trickery, has brought news for you."
As the Shadow Demon kept on watching the world within his crystal ball to know all and see all, he'll try to hear Poka out.
"And that would be…?"
"New member Todo has got the Left Eye to be back with it…But the Right Eye of other demon king from ago…The foolish humans from Kyoto are bringing reinforcements as we speak to try stopping us." said the bat demon to sounding upset about it. "At this rate, Poka believes we're unable to get the next eye if it's well protected by damn exorcists…"
Once Poka said it all, the Shadow King's powers went up to start crushing the hard rock of the walls to break to make the other demons to hide in fear and Poka to start panicking.
"They have…What!?" angered the king. "How can I complete my war against Assiah when they're having backup!? I was supposed to have the upper hand! Even the Deep Keep member Todo sole his soul to become part of my clan! And in return to have one thing done, you give me that type of news, Poka!? I will not accept this…!"
As Poka tries to fly away from the Shadow King's powers, he wasn't done reporting back to tell another good news to try calming his master down.
"Wait! Wait! Poka's not finish yet!"
He then calms down a little to give his servant another chance…This king's scary.
"Haven't you now…? Speak up." said the king.
"Thank you, Master." Poka was relief. "New enemy is trying to stop us will be arriving in Kyoto real soon. The monk at one cursed temple, his son Suguro will show up. Along with another Shima with three brothers left and one Miwa member. The rest are still unclear but they all work for that older son of Satan being Mephisto Pheles himself…Bad news as it is and sounds, there are good news of one of the members. Two of them that'll please you, Master. Very, very much."
Now the Shadow King wanted to know more about the two suddenly…
"Is that so, Poka? Then I demand some answers. Show me!"
And so, he does within the crystal ball for Poka to show two important people for the king wanted to know, this wasn't good at all.
"Very well, Master…" Poka shows Kiyomi Saki first. "Poka has done research, that Poka did. Found your half breed granddaughter that you, Master, son Kazu had a daughter from human woman. Strong powers for Todo place something within her. More powers to be awaken for Poka to feel out and study upon in your interest. See…? Her familiar is trap as well, so less problems to still have Saki's powers to show her true darker shadow powers. Soon to be kicking from within her body more and more."
Not good, the Shadow King sees his granddaughter for the first time being Kiyomi who was place with a curse from her powers to trap Zuku in a shard too because of it. Once the king sees her, he went from being upset, to be liking this instead.
"My…granddaughter…? Kazu. My son had a half breed daughter from that worthless woman who was murder with him…?" the Shadow King then laughs in madness of his amusement. "Kiyomi Saki is her name, right?"
Poka was then happy to see his master was happy even more.
"Yes! Yes!" said the little demon. "Poka's please if Master is! That's her name with the curse within her thanks to Todo's help and usefulness he is."
The Shadow King places his big hand to touch the crystal ball to look at Kiyomi Saki from her beauty and her powers to be flowing through her body. Ew! He does know this demon was Kiyomi's grandfather and he's interest to liking her looks 'without looking or feeling old' is like he was hitting on his own half breed of a granddaughter. That's wrong! You know what I mean…?
"Excellent! Yes, my own granddaughter looks…So lovely. And with such power growing through her, I rather thank that useless Todo after all. With the curse following through her whether she changes or not, I'll have her as part of my army as we speak." he turns to Poka next for a task he must do. "Poka, for this woman being my granddaughter, keep an eye on her to keep reporting back to me, understood?"
The little shadow bat understood indeed.
"Yes, master!" he said. "Poka will do so. And now for the second being to learn about, being Saki's boyfriend and his brother of enemy Mephisto whose the half brother and Son of Satan too. Look…Him."
The Shadow King then sees Rin Okumura in the crystal ball to be laughing even more to his entertainment to like more and more.
"The son of Satan…Yes, I remember the demon fallen for a human woman to have twin boys. One being normal to see and hear demons, and another having the powers like him." the king sees Rin. "Rin Okumura, is it? I can feel the blue flames of his to see his inner form of anger all the way from where we are now. Those two are in love, aren't they?"
"That they are, Master!" said Poka. "Okumura's powers work well when Saki's with him for a flame turns from blue to red, for others being their friends fear him but your granddaughter. Still training to control flames."
Now everything changes for what's to come in the Shadow King's plans to tell Poka on what to do next and stick to it.
"Wonderful…" he smirks with joy in an evil way. "In any case…I want to learn more to keep those two in check, I shall have one by my side and the other for power before Okumura's dear father takes over his flesh…" turns to his servant. "Poka, this is an order! Keep an eye on Saki, no matter what to report back to me every day! I want her alive! That goes double for the Okumura boy…A fight with him would be wonderful. As of his younger brother Yukio, I guess he could be spare for some backup energy for me."
Poka was more than happy to do for his king.
"That Poka can do, Master! Leave it to Poka to get done!"
"You know what your orders are…?" the Shadow King asked.
"Yes!" Poka understood. "Watch on Okumura brothers to keep alive for power and Saki to join us one way or other. Poka gets it. As for others in the way with enemy Mephisto?"
The Shadow King just laughs a little.
"Leave that to me…As for Todo will be more useful to continue, no need to worry about the worthless human. Now go continue with your work, Poka, don't you dare fail me…"
Poka takes off to continue no matter happens without fail.
"Got it! Poka out! Be back soon, Master!" said the annoying shadow bat-like demon.
With one danger with Rin, Kiyomi, and maybe Yukio too are now being watched by the Shadow King's doing…With Poka and Todo continuing with their work as order on each end of theirs, the king then calls out to three more of his servants to come aid him in the room of the three odd looking sisters.
"Now then…" the king speaks up. "Come to me! The Trio of Darkness Sisters!"
And so, they do for the three girls calling themselves 'The Trio of Darkness Sisters' for they appear out of the shadows.
"We are here, Master of Shadows!" one of the three of the girls said.
One at a time, they introduce themselves from ugly one, big one, and pretty one…
"Baha, the Ice of Darkness. At your service."
"Meme, the Lighting of Darkness. Has…Ah? Arrive?"
"And Vivi, the Fire of Darkness. Hello!"
They then say something together as one to introduce themselves.
"For we are…The Trio of Darkness Sisters!"
"Good, good." said the Shadow King. "Now, ladies, this is an order I wish for you three to do for me. A few. So listen carefully…"
Baha, Meme, and Vivi understood to listen carefully on what to do before taking off in doing so, trying to kill everyone standing in the way 'but the Okumura brothers and Kiyomi' to get the rest of the parts and Right Eye of the Impure King besides Todo doing the other one.
"Just tell us what to do, sir, and we'll do it." said Baha. "We're professional after all."
This doesn't look and sound good at all. Also…Baha's mean, for Meme's clueless, and Vivi doesn't look so mean deep down. More one them later I guess. Elsewhere…Our heroes have arrived at Kyoto for the train to stop at Kyoto Station for it looked great to see it all; for Kiyomi tries to be strong after calming herself down to come out with Zuku by her side 'and still trapped' to catch up to Rin and the others – for it'll be a while for them to trust in him again as their friend for being the son and Satan and all but not as their enemy.
"Kiyomi!" Rin goes over to his woman to be hugging her.
"Hey, Rin." she tries to stay strong from the even she did from earlier.
"You feeling any better?"
Zuku just gave her the sign to say something to Rin.
"Oh! I'm fine now…Just feel weird for whatever it's inside of me. Not good at all." she said to try smiling.
"Are you sure…?" Kuro asks her.
With this mess, Rin knows how Kiyomi was feeling to try smiling for her still.
"Hey, come on babe. We'll fix this somehow to have your powers back within you." Zuku stares at Rin to forget her. "And…Your friend/familiar Zuku to set her free as well."
For all will be good for those four joins with Shura, Bon, Miwa, Shima, Izumo, Shiemi, Nemu, and the other exorcists to be walking out as Kuro pointed out for Rin and Kiyomi to see the view of the area including the tower in front of them.
"Look!" Kuro pointed out. "It's the tower you were talking about, Rin!"
It did look really cool to be looking at, something to remember from a trip/mission and taking pictures of on Kiyomi's end with her camera.
"Amazing…" she loved it.
"That's so cool! Right, guys?" Rin asks the others to go on without him.
Still!? The others 'but Shura and Izumo a little' are ignoring poor Rin? So rude. Kiyomi, Zuku, and Kuro won't to say the least.
"Come on, Rin." Kiyomi said to be holding his hand. "Give them some time to be your friends again like I am…Izumo has so far, so little at a time. Trust me. (I know they still like Rin deep down.)"
Rin having his girlfriend to still love him, he'll try to hang in there.
"Thanks, Kiyomi…" he said to try putting a smile on his face. "(God, I love that woman so much…Don't know what I do without her! I just hope she'll be okay whatever it's inside of her, I have to get it out!)"
Arriving to the streets for people were picking up some people from far away area of Japan 'like them' one person was holding up a sign being related to Shima himself, having a brother in the family and to be working at the temple. He was known as Kinzou Shima…He was waiting for the group of our exorcist team while holding a sign saying, 'Order of the True Cross Japan Branch', meaning he was their ride to the temple by driving all the way there by taking a bus. So off they go into to drive there for Kinzou introduces himself to everyone on the microphone while the bus driver was driving to the temple they needed to get to, for Shima felt embarrassed for his brother making a scene of goofiness already in front of everyone else. Isn't the first time, huh?
"I'm Kinzou Shima, envoy from the Kyoto field office." he tells everyone on the bus. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
OK…? From the way Kinzou was making an awkward scene at himself and the way Shima was feeling embarrassed for his own brother to be doing so, Kiyomi and Zuku could already tell they were related alright from looking at the two.
"I know, Zuku. This guy is related to Shima, that's for sure. He has a brother." she said.
Continuing with the talking 'the best he can do'…
"I'm taking to you where you guys will be staying. Once you're settled in, we'll have you assist with Temptaint victims. So, thanks in advance!"
Right…And with that, Bon seems to be upset to really be going back to his hometown and not happy about it at all. Same with Miwa and Shiemi who were just sitting down on the way to the place 'as everyone else was too' but Kuro to have a look around to tell Rin and Kiyomi about it.
"Rin! Kiyomi! Look at that! Look!"
And Shima still feeling embarrassed to hide his face in shame, poor dude.
"Man, kill me! Someone, just kill me now…" he said to himself.
Some bus drive this turn out to be…The bus soon stops to finally reaching to their destination.
"And here we are." said Kinzou.
Well, Bon knew he would be back at his home being an INN too for his family to be working at, his mother that is. The monks greet the heroes to be coming in and staying at as well saying come on in, thank you for coming, and right this way to guide them, and then seeing Bon to be very happy about it to surprise everyone else too.
"Hey! It's Bon!"
"You came back!"
For the monks saying these things to them, Bon just wanted to be minding his own business.
"Hey! This ain't personal home visit!" he said to them.
Even Kinzou was happy and shock too in seeing Bon again without noticing on the bus to still do his business. While Kiyomi was right about one thing…He was very popular including both Shima and Miwa.
"(Talk about being famous…)"
"Bon!" surprised Kinzou. "Sorry for not saying hi earlier! I didn't see you! Wow, what a happy occasion!" then he calls out to someone. "Hey, ma'am!"
Bon got mad at him to be calling someone that he knows of.
"Knock it off!"
A woman appears who must oversee the INN building to get out her shoes and comes right out know of Bon already to be seeing him again. Though he was a bit scared of seeing her again, been a while too.
"Ryuji!" she said to go up to him. "You…" she then grabs hold of Bon's hair. "You went and dyed your hair! You looking to become a rooster in the future or something!?" This lady was yanking Bon's hair hard in anger.
"Th-This is to motive me!" he said to her.
"Motivation, my foot! I won't stand for it!"
Shima was laughing from seeing this and Miwa knew that this would happen to their friend. Leaving the others who were new to the place in seeing this woman knowing a lot about Bon.
"Um, what?" ask Izumo.
"Oh, my…" Shiemi was speechless.
The woman then acts like her normal self again to the guests.
"Oh, where are my manners? It's nice to meet you. I'm Ryuji's mother." she then bows down with a smile to be thanking everyone. "Thank you for looking after my Bon."
This was shocking to Rin, Izumo, Shiemi, Nemu, Kuro, and Zuku on their end but Kiyomi. For she was known as Torako Suguro.
"I should've known from her attitude was a lot like his…" she said to be laughing, leaving Bon to have his face turn red to see Kiyomi was more beautiful up close.
"(Saki…I didn't think she was a lot more up close until now, kind of hot looking too.)" he said to himself.
Leaving Rin to be saying this to the mother of Bon…
"You're Suguro's mom!? I always assume you'd be more…" From Rin imaging Bon with his mother and father to look like a strong ogre and a scary house hold woman, cross that woman part off then.
"Rin, please be nice." said Kiyomi. "I doubt that would-be Bon's mother being scary looking…"
Rin just laughs to be shy about it.
"Well, I knew that…"
So Shima explains to them.
"This is Bon's family home."
"From the looks of it, I can already tell." said Kiyomi for Zuku to nodded about it too.
Leaving poor Rin to still be confused about Bon being a rich kid and all.
"I thought Suguro's family home was a bankrupt temple." he said.
"The temple couldn't make ends meet anymore so I took over my family's inn." said Bon's mother.
Izumo then laughs about something to know why everyone and his family call him Bon all the time.
"What's up, Izumo?" Kiyomi asks her.
"Oh, nothing…" she said to try holding in the laugh. "I'd always wondered why they kept calling him 'Bon'! He's the bon-bon 'young master' of the inn!"
Ouch! That's got to Bon hard when Izumo was laughing about it and Zuku was too.
"I'm standing right here, Kamiki!"
Kiyomi tries calming everyone down the best that she could.
"Please, you guys. Not now."
With Shura signing everyone in on paper to give to Torako, they were all good to go.
"Thank you for putting us up." Shura said.
"Think nothing of it!" she said back and hand the papers over to Torako. "We appreciate the continued patronage of the Order of the True Cross."
"We'll head straight out to the field office to provide assistance, but I'll leave half of our Doctor's here, so please use them to treat Temptaint victims."
Shura, for someone who gets drunk and has big breasts, you can still get the job done in the end.
"Thank you very much." said Torako.
Before Shura took off, she had something to say to the three boys who lived in Kyoto to do something before getting to work.
"Suguro. Shima. Miwa. This is your first visit home in a while, so go say hello to your families."
"Yes, ma'am." both Shima and Miwa said together at the same time.
They'll come right back to work, family comes first for them. As Shura tells the others on what they need to do on their ends.
"Moriyama, Kamiki, Okumura, and Kiyomi, you'll help with the injured. And Kiyomi, if you're feeling weak and such, let me know right away."
Zuku hate to see Kiyomi feeling weak again due to the curse within her body to make her Shadow Demon powers to go crazy.
"Understood…" she said to stay strong.
"Good, that is all then. Dismissed."
And with that, Kinzou leads the others to the injured people next.
"Yes, ma'am! Hey! Follow me, kids!" he said to the others.
Looks like it was all good to go. With Shura busy with Torako too running the INN…he, Shima, and Miwa go see their family who were still alive right away with Kiyomi trying to be strong and still feeling like she was on fire from her body with Rin holds her hand to walk together; they, Zuku, Kuro, Izumo, Shiemi, and Nemu enter in a room with the injured people to be heal up right away for another attack if it were to happen in protecting the Right Eye of Impure King to try to be taken again. This will be some mission. All over the room, lots of hurtful people were in their beds to be treated.
"There are so many…" Shiemi was upset to be seeing this.
Lucky for all of them to be hanging in there for Kinzou explains to the rest of the heroes.
"Will they be okay?" ask Kiyomi.
"They'll be fine, my dear." Kinzou moves up to Kiyomi to make a move just like his brother. "And I hope you are too…"
She whacks him on the head hard.
"I got a boyfriend! So buzz off!"
And because of Kiyomi's will to fight back, he does and Rin was laughing for what Kiyomi did to him on her own.
"Okay, it's good. Sorry…" being serious now. "There's another 15 or so in the guest house out back besides these people."
It's true, as one exorcist member Yunokawa 'Sensei' tells the others on what they needed to do on each of their ends.
"Okay, here's what I want you to do for now. They're making an herbal tea antidote in the kitchen, so go hand it out. Also, replace any empty drip bags, alright?"
"Yes, sir!" Shiemi, Izumo, Nemu, Rin, and Kiyomi said.
As Shiemi puts her hair up for she, Izumo, and Nemu get to work but Yunokawa stopping Rin from going anywhere for Kiyomi, Zuku, and Kuro had to stick with him on other things. Also, due to Kiyomi feeling weak from some of her powers.
"Hang on." he stops Rin by the collar shirt from behind. "Not you, Okumura. You too, Saki, you're still weak from the curse. So you two had something else to do."
They were given no choice for Zuku had to be stuck without pain or fear but to worry about Kiyomi's safety, at least when she does thing it'll keep her familiar alive and well.
"Okay then, I guess." she said. "We have to follow orders, Rin."
He knew Rin has to on his end the most.
"Yeah, I know, Kiyomi." he then asks Yunokawa something. "What do you want her and me to do then?"
"Hm, let me think…" he starts to think hard. "What can you two do? Go pick up…something."
Pick up something? That's all?
"Like what?" both Rin and Kiyomi ask.
"Trash, I guess?" Ouch, looks like Rin must. With Kiyomi having something to do as well. "And you, Saki…Maybe you can clean the hallways floors for a bit. A good way to control your powers still and stay in shape. Just in case…"
Looks like they have too.
"Well, let's get to it." she said.
"Chores for us? Damn…" Rin goes along with it to hate it still.
Well, lucky for Kiyomi…she doesn't mind doing some body exorcise to relax in controlling her half demon powers with Zuku watching and hearing even though she is trap and Rin taking out the trash in a way to control his flames better; while Bon's mother takes her son, Shima, and Miwa to go see another monk Yaozo 'being Shima's father' who was hurt and see how he was doing for a chief running the place to be feeling better with some others too to thank Bon and Miwa for working hard – for a guy with a big scar on his face this Yaozo guy is strong. Well, loves his son to dye his hair pink to give him a hard time. Bon then asks where his father was...Tatsuma Suguro, remember? He wasn't hurt and it looks like his own son wanted to talk to him for even his own wife didn't know where at since he didn't carry a cell phone. Did those two have a fight or what?
As Kiyomi was about done to check up to Rin who was finishing up on his and feeling tired 'with Kuro on his head', he was just looking around for Kiyomi had another headache suddenly.
"Kiyomi!" Rin rushes to her side. "You okay?"
She tries to hang in there.
"Yeah…! I'm fine, Rin. No worries. I wish I can get out whatever's inside of me."
Soon someone calls out to the two to ask for some help outside of the temple.
"Hey! You two! Could you kids give me a hand?" It was none other than Tatsuma himself to ask for their help by cutting some watermelons for him looking well to eat.
"Wow! Look at this!" Kiyomi love the sight of the food.
"Watermelons!" said Rin. "Those look so good!"
Tatsuma then tells Rin to keep his voice down for him out of nowhere.
"They're for the injured. Can you two slice them up and hand them out?" he asked. "You can have a slice, too."
Kiyomi bows down to be thanking Tatsuma for the food and in exchange to help him out.
"Thank you so much!"
"Will do!" said Rin. "Kiyomi and I will slice and dice them!"
Rin sure looked happy to help, for Tatsuma sees the tail sticking out to know who he was already from the looks of it but as a friend. Although the smell coming from this monk was too much for him to be drinking this early.
"This guy reeks of booze." said Kuro.
Both Kiyomi and Zuku don't like the smell of it at all.
"Isn't it a little early to hit the bottle, pops?" Rin asks Tatsuma. "Some priest you are…"
"Uh-ho. You found me out, huh?" he just laughs and feels silly for doing that. "It's so hot I couldn't help myself."
When Rin was looking at Tatsuma 'and Kiyomi as well', he reminded them of Shiro when he was alive to be and act this way he was with them.
"(Wow…)" surprised Kiyomi. "(When looking at this man, he does act a lot like Father Fujimoto was a while back)."
Rin already likes this type of monk.
"Talk about a degenerate priest…You're just like my Dad."
Tatsuma just laughs with Rin to like the two.
"He was a good man back then…" said Kiyomi.
"Really now?" he questions them. "I like you two. You both must be a couple."
Rin turns red when Tatsuma said that to him.
"Oh! You realize…?" Rin hugs Kiyomi to keep his arms close to her breasts pressing together. "She's my world. A beauty queen, a smart one, and we're a lot alike. And me to nuzzle our love…"
Kiyomi laughs to hold Rin back.
"Rin, please…"
The two begin to cut the watermelons together little at a time.
"What are your names?" ask Tatsuma.
They introduce themselves…
"Rin Okumura."
"And Kiyomi Saki." she said. "This is also my Familiar Zuku who's in a pickle, the same as I am right now to be fixed, and Rin's familiar Kuro. He's a Cat Slithe."
Once they told him their names, Tatsuma was surprise to hear his son Bon had friends, the son of Satan and a half breed Shadow Demon being the daughter of Kazu.
"Oh…so you're them."
Then they ask on who he was, they will know right away with a shock.
"You know who we are…?" Kiyomi asks him.
"Well, who are you, pops?"
"Who, me?" he laughs again. "I'm Ryuji's Suguro's old man!"
Another shock for the four to hear.
"Bon's father!?" shock Kiyomi. "(Should've seen that part coming!)"
"For real!?" and Rin too. So, cross out Rin's image of Bon's made up father there too. Now they meet his real-life parents.
"Yes, for real!" Tatsuma laughs. "Can't you see the resemblance?"
Rin doesn't want to admit on his mistake he almost made again.
"Really? Suguro looks a lot cooler."
This monk didn't think so on his end.
"You think?"
Zuku didn't think so to be arguing in a small shard and Kiyomi tries correcting her boyfriend.
"Rin, please be nice." she said to him.
"What? I'm just saying."
Tatsuma then says this to them.
"Young lady, you sure are good to my son. And you, good sir must be really good friends with Ryuji."
Yeah…About that…From Rin getting upset when he and his friends found out about his powers, he feared and was angry with Rin to be related to Satan and all only to fight his so call father with Kiyomi defending him to be losing her friends as well because of it. I feel bad for them.
"Oh, man…" Kiyomi was upset.
"We had a fight." said Rin looking disappointed from the look on his face.
Somehow, Tatsuma wasn't surprise for Bon to be fighting with them too so was his own father for some reason.
"Oh, dear. You too, huh?" he asked.
"Well, not me. He's been acting odd since he first found out. Being mean, then act caring too much for me…" Looks like Kiyomi doesn't get it at all on how Bon feels about her just yet besides Yukio, Mephisto, and little from Shima.
"Is that so…Maybe he might have a small crush on you."
"Huh?"
Tatsuma quickly changes the subject for Kiyomi and before Rin almost found out from that lucky guess there.
"Ah! Well…Actually, Ryuji and I are in the middle of one, too!"
"You too, huh?" Rin asks him.
With Kuro just walking around for Zuku to be feeling award listening in to all of this, Rin was still sad and upset to feel and look down to think about Bon and the others 'but Izumo' never talking to him or Kiyomi ever again. And with that, Kiyomi can know and see how her boyfriend truly feels the way Bon was fighting with Tatsuma, his own father.
"Lots of thing's been happening lately. Good and bad ones you can say." she said.
Rin then says something to Tatsuma with his head down low of being sad.
"He can be a real minefield, can't he?"
"That's for sure." he agrees with Rin.
"But he's a good guy." Rin said. "So, I want to patch things up with him. Both me and Kiyomi with the others."
Zuku and Kuro agree there.
"On the bright side of things, Izumo and Nemu don't mind you at all, Rin. So that's a start." said Kiyomi. "And we will keep on doing it too, no matter what."
Tatsuma gets where the two lovers were getting at very much.
"I know how you two must feel."
Funny, how he's telling it all to Rin and Kiyomi to first be meeting with each other to know for Bon will care about them more again. Elsewhere down below the area for of Kyoto's field office Deep Keep is where the Right Eye of Impure King was at and guarded very well for Shura to check it out; as Kinzou explains to the whole detail in guarding the place in time before more trouble came and Shadow Demons to retreat in time from the fight in protecting one item like that and the Left Eye was still stolen, hard to do. But you know what? A job was still a job. Rin and Kiyomi were done slicing the watermelons for those two to have and give the rest to the injured people next.
"They look good enough to eat." said Kiyomi.
"Yep! We're done!" and Rin to turn his attentions to Tatsuma next. "Hey, pops, why don't you carry in some of these yourself?"
Soon they see Tatsuma just taking off to be in a hurry from the looks of it.
"Sir? Where are you going!?" Kiyomi calls out to him. "Rin!"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
All he does was to wave to them and smile before taking off.
"I'm glad I met you two, Rin and Kiyomi! Let's chat again sometime!" and Tatsuma heads out for Rin and Kiyomi couldn't get him in time.
"Hey! Wait, you-!" Rin tries stopping him.
Well this was getting weirder, but at least they'll bring the two plates of may watermelon slices to everyone. Soon they hear some people talking in the other room, being the injure ones and they don't get along from belonging to different areas from the sound and looks of it. Another brother of Shima and Kinzou to be a monk was Jiyzou Shima who was fighting with a group of triplet sister girls with bad attitude with white hair and skin of a snake, one of them was known as Mamushi Hojyo; for those two hated, each other to be like the Hojyo for some of them really hate the Shima family. As the three girls laugh to support each other and giving Jiyzou a hard time…Rin, Kiyomi, Kuro, and Zuku go into the room with watermelon slices to give out to the people, maybe not all of them.
"I thought Kyoto was supposed to be more refined…" Rin said.
"Me too…" Kiyomi agrees with Rin.
Things were getting worse in this fight to be listening and seeing it all.
"You always make up excuses, snake face hags!" shouted Jiyzou.
With him throwing his staff at Mamushi to dodge, she uses her powers against him next by using hand signs.
"Stupid ape!"
With her arm turning into a snake and Jiyzou making his staff the K'rik to fly, they attack at each other. And not good too…! Their attacks were about to attack the other people in the other room.
"Look out!" Rin warns them.
"No!"
Kiyomi runs over there, only for some shadow power to try slowing those attacks down in time for the staff. The snake was destroyed by another spell in time thanks to Bon, Shima, and Miwa 'with his arm still healing up' doing all of this as a team. Nice one, but Kiyomi started to feel weak suddenly.
"That's enough!" Bon said in anger.
They stop fighting to be happy and more shock in seeing Bon again.
"Bon?" shock Jiyzou.
"Master Ryuji!" Mamushi and the other two girls said too.
Right on time to talk some sense into these people, Bon.
"Somebody out there is targeting us! This is no time to be at each other's throats!"
They understood to put their rivalry aside for the temple's sake in doing their jobs.
"M-My apologizes…"
Jiyzou understood and a bit from Mamushi's end to still be a bit selfish.
"I wish you'd say that to the face of the Master, your father." she said with a smirk. "The public mocks him as a degenerate who's a high priest in name only."
Ouch…That has gotten to Bon hard there, didn't it? For he knows to not to be told twice about it.
"Mamushi! Give it a rest!" Jiyzou snaps at her.
"No." but Bon says something else instead. "Mamushi is right."
Kiyomi, Rin, Kuro, Zuku, Shima, and Miwa feel bad for Bon here, bad way he's been acting lately.
"Bon…" Shima started to worry.
"Anyway, cut it out."
He then leaves the room after that looking and sounding upset. Rin and Kiyomi feel bad for their friend as well, leaving Kuro to try getting some watermelon slices by reaching out with his paw.
"Is anyone gonna eat these watermelon slices?" as the demon cat.
"Yeah…" answer Rin.
Kiyomi tries talking to Bon.
"Bon, wait. We-!"
Soon Kiyomi started to see a horrible image in her head to freak out about and then falls to pass out 'due to the curse within her body'. Leaving Rin to check on his woman to leave everyone else to panic for Bon, Miwa, and Shima went to help them out while Mamushi and Jiyzou watch the horror to be happening before their eyes.
"No! Kiyomi!" Rin panics. "Hey! Are you okay!? Damn it!"
With Zuku being trapped and useless to see Kiyomi was in pain, Rin and Kuro were worried about her condition.
"Rin! Her fever's up really high!" said Kuro. "Not good!"
Bon was panicking to give Kiyomi a hand with some help.
"Konekomaru, get an extra bed for Saki right away. And take your time because of your arm still needs some healing."
"Got it!" he said.
He does it right away leaving Bon and Shima to pick Kiyomi up.
"Shima, give me hand here."
"On it!" said Shima. "Hang in there, Saki!"
With everything all set up, Bon say something quickly to Rin for him to help his girlfriend.
"Okumura! Just shut it and give Saki a glass of water! I'll place a wet cloth on her forehead!"
"Okay!" Rin does it in time to treat Kiyomi. "Drink up, babe!"
She does so with Bon letting her get warm and cool off too, Rin sees Kiyomi will be fine from the unknown curse she was having for Kuro aided her some watermelon slices to have.
"Here you go, Kiyomi, eat up."
She does to then be feeling a bit better now, just a little.
"Ah, man…I felt dizzy." she said to try clearing her head. "Zuku? What's wrong with us? Our powers? And me…?" Kiyomi begins to worry again from that part and from earlier on the train, so it was spreading within her body.
"Kiyomi…" Rin hugs Kiyomi to make her feel better to embrace their love to keep her going.
"Oh, Rin…"
Bon then got a little sad to say this to Kiyomi after seeing her feeling a bit better now.
"You scared us, Saki. Try taking it easy, will you?" he said. "We can't protect you during this type of crisis going on."
Kiyomi understood to try smiling back at Bon.
"Understood, Bon. Thanks."
He then leaves for Shima and Miwa handed out the watermelon slices and for Rin too.
"Think nothing of it, really…Just be more careful." said Bon to be hiding in something. "(Okumura…! Damn you. Why him? Why not me?)"
Huh…? This was getting weirder and weirder here to say at least that Bon, Shima, and Miwa were being more open minded to Rin again and no trouble a little for Kiyomi either. So much was going on at this temple besides protecting an eye. Still, Kiyomi was beginning to worry even more to get rid of the curse anytime soon. As the past as shown in a flashback of Bon, Shima, and Miwa were happy to be running the temple one day in their hometown village; as the three ate some nice grown veggies for Bon visits his father Tatsuma working as the head master monk to listen in everyday to practice and run the place like him, when he was a boy to making him very happy to always be with his father from back then. Today's day however, seems like Bon doesn't want to talk about his past a lot for Shima and Miwa to worry about him even more. Even while working outside…
With Shiemi, Izumo, Nemu, Rin, and Kiyomi 'working a little a time on after what has happened to her', Torako comes out to ask to bring some food out next. Rin had no trouble making the meals and carrying all the boxes out for her, with Kiyomi tagging along.
"Thank you so much!" said Torako.
Bon follows them 'since his mommy said so by force', for them, Shima, and Miwa give out the food for everyone else and with Shiemi working in the kitchen sink. Rin wanted to say something to his friend there and Kiyomi too, only to get a move on by delivering the foods to the people and Shura at the Deep Keep building.
"You coming, Kiyomi?" Rin asks his girlfriend.
"I'll be right out!"
"Okay, just don't strain yourself!"
Kiyomi tries saying to Shiemi before taking off, but she sees Rin leaving to say something to her instead.
"Kiyomi…Please be careful." she said. "I was worried about you after what Ms. Kamiki told me."
Kiyomi then smiles a little to feel a bit better.
"Thanks, Shiemi. That means a lot to hear it from you. We're still best friends?"
"Yes."
"And you still like Rin? For us to still be a couple?" ask Kiyomi.
She tries to be strong to try say something nice to Kiyomi, if she could…
"Just be safe, both of you…please?"
Kiyomi tries her best and the same for Rin too, another one to care still. So far…
"We'll try, Shiemi. Our love is strong to keep us to still be ourselves and not the enemy." she takes off. "See you later then. Thanks for checking up on me."
Seems so…As Kiyomi takes off with Rin, Bon, Shima, and Miwa delivering the food to Shura and the others for them to eat tonight. With her saying for them to rest for tonight with some juice and other food to eat 'making Rin happy to hear'; Bon tries asking Shura if he could go out to go see Tatsuma but it was late to know the mission comes first and not go out at night to be dangerous. He understood to go turn himself in early for bed and was still upset.
"Kiyomi. Get some rest, got it?" Shura said to her. "We need to get whatever's in you out of your body soon enough."
"Alright, Shura, I will do that." she said. "Come on, Rin."
He was happy to have some food and to give some to Bon in time.
"Coming!" he tries catching up to his friend. "Hey, Suguro! Your bento!" Rin follows Bon. "Man, you're grumpy…That's because you haven't eaten. Eat something! Here, gorilla!"
Bon turns around to grab the things and still get mad at Rin over nothing.
"Quit bugging me!"
Kiyomi walks up to Bon to give him the dirty look for Miwa, Shima, Rin, and Zuku to be seeing this.
"Bon!" she snaps. "Please be nice…! What Rin was trying to say is that he gave you the food and a juice. To also be saying thank you for helping me out. Isn't that right, Rin?"
"Ah, yeah…" he remembers to try saying thanks too. "It's all good."
Bon then smiles a little at Kiyomi for a few seconds to then leaving the place with the two things.
"Yeah, yeah. Take it easy, Saki."
So much for him saying something nice to Rin, still needs more time with him.
"I made him mad…" Rin was upset again.
Kiyomi goes over to Rin 'carefully' to say something nice instead.
"Now, now, Rin. Don't let it get to you."
"I should get going, too." Rin tries to ask Miwa to join him and Kiyomi to eat.
"Konekomaru! Wanna join us?"
Surprise to hear Rin asking him, so was Kiyomi to be joining in.
"Pretty please, Miwa?" she asks him.
Though it was nice to have friends for them to care about Miwa still, he kindly declines to do something else to be was important.
"Sorry, Saki." he said to be feeling sad. "But I want to go pay my respects to my family."
They understood very much for Miwa to be doing so right away.
"I see. Well, that's important." said Rin.
And with Miwa leaving too, that leaves Rin and Kiyomi to enjoy their meals and drinks together. But Rin's juice was different to be skipping on with Shima trying to get out on his own to 'kind of' be afraid
"Um…I guess, I should also…"
"Shima…" Kiyomi tries being nice to him. "Could you join us?"
He then smiles for her only.
"Sure thing, Saki! You're still pretty to feel a bit better. Good! I do anything to you…"
"What!?" Kiyomi was lost.
Ouch! Change the subject, dude!
"I-I-I mean I do anything for you!"
Rin then has his blue flames up and…looking drunk? Oh, boy.
"What the hell?" said the drunken Rin. "You ain't gonna eat the bento I brought, either?"
With Shima being scared, Kiyomi stays close to Rin always leaving Kuro to eat his meal too.
"There, there, Rin. Take It easy please."
And you know what happens next? Shima joins with them to eat to be liking the food as Kiyomi was too giving Zuku some energy even if she was trapped.
"Hey, this bento is really good! Right?" Shima said to them.
"It is!" said Kiyomi.
For her and Rin, Shima was eating further from where they were sitting at.
"Hey, man. Aren't you kinda far away?" Rin asks Shima.
That Shima was…
"I am?"
This made Rin upset again while he was still drunk. What was up with his juice?
"You're scared of me like everyone else, aren't you?"
"I'm not scared!" Shima said laughing to be tense instead. "If I had to say, I just don't like hassles. Nothing against you, Okumura. And you, Saki, not a problem at all."
That's the least of their worries…
"How sweet of you to say…" she goes along with it. "(Shima does know I have Rin as my boyfriend, right?)"
"Wait…You don't like hassles?" ask Rin to then sneezes. "Lame! Sheesh, you're so uncool!"
Looks like Shima got burned by Rin.
"Hey! You called me uncool? I can't let that slide!" he said. "I'm famous for being cool, I'll have you know!"
Or so Shima thinks for Rin 'even if he wasn't drunk' didn't think so, while Kiyomi and Zuku look at each other to know that he was just plain old Shima himself to be a friend to them.
"You?" Rin questions Shima and then laughs.
"Oh, Rin…" Kiyomi was worried about him.
This made Shima mad.
"It's not that funny! Saki! Tell him!"
"Tell him what?" she goes along with him. "Don't get me into this mess."
Rin then shows a paper chart he made of seven people's names on it of the coolest people by far, or they 'Personal Coolness Rankings'. From Kiyomi 'Rin's girlfriend', Shiro, Bon, Miwa, himself, Kuro, and Yukio's in sixth place. Funny!
"Look close! On my list of cool people, you rank somewhere around here!" Rin points it out below the paper.
"I'm below Kuro?"
Not likely, Shima was way down for Rin to point it out invisibly.
"Nope. You're off the page!"
"That just mean!" he said.
"But it's sort of the truth." said Kiyomi to see Rin passing out. "Oh, dear. What type of juice did you have, Rin?"
Shima didn't think Rin would fall of sleep after all of that.
"He's asleep!?"
"Seems so…" she said to him.
But Rin gets back up and drunk again for Shima to be puffing up over nothing to take a deep breath and calm down to be smiling.
"What am I doing? I'm trying to avoid you as much as possible, but here I am, talking to you, Okumura, like always."
He was just laughing for Kiyomi to be laughing in a good way too for Rin to watch and listen in a bit.
"Well, it's good to at least see you talking to us, Shima." she said. "Thanks."
Shima was happy to be thank by Kiyomi.
"Welcome. You see? It's way more of a hassle to avoid somebody. Okay, I give!'
A few down to liking Rin as friend again so far.
"Damn right! Just give up!" said Rin. "It ain't gonna do you any good, so laugh it up! Laugh it up!" Then he laughs too for Kiyomi and Zuku to be joining in with him.
"Yeah, I'll do that." said Shima to be looking up at the skies next. "Even Bon, even Koneko...Everybody's way too uptight…"
"Well, they just need time is all. It will happen though. I know it well. And so, does Zuku too." said Kiyomi.
Rin and Kiyomi do the same thing too until Rin says something next at Shima again.
"You're, like, the king of lame."
"Why are you talking like that to me, Okumura!? Knock it off!" Shima got angry.
Rin then passes out for Kiyomi needed some help getting him back to the inn and sleep for Shima to lend her a hand.
"Oh, boy…Shima, could you lend me some help here?"
"I don't see why not." Shima didn't mind at all.
As Bon was eating and drinking where he was sitting at…Another flashback of him as a kid to love Tatsuma's work with Shima and Miwa supporting him too; for some monks wanted to get out to not work for him making Bon upset to try running the place on his own one day to beg of them to stay at the temple for it was hard to keep the Myoda Sect thing unchecked or something; even Juzo back then tries to keep things in spirit for Bon wanted his father to run the place but refuses to at all of a line being called for of the Order of the True Cross. For Tatsuma will allow for Juzo and Uwabami to run it instead to be fine with it and all.
Poor Bon…He also remembers of his own father refusing to go to True Cross Academy to get revenge against Satan to disobey him and his mother to go on his own any ways. As well as thinking about Kiyomi a lot to be with Rin more but was in pain to get him mad, but what for? Soon Uwabami sees Bon again to say hi and such, he's investigating something about a traitor at the Myoda to be doing bad things, or maybe the director behind it all to report to Bon about it only. So he allows it to ask Tatsuma 'by force' if he must and continues with the work and Bon hopes for the best…Maybe. Wait, Bon's drunk too? All of this to get upset to bring the temple back without running away like his father was and such.
"(Saki…You don't run away, but you know Okumura needs to keep you safe?)" Bon said to himself.
With Miwa praying at the graves where his parents were killed, Shiemi was sitting alone outside looking at the stars, with Izumo seeing her from afar too, and Shura eating her meals to having her beer, but it was juice instead…That's why Bon and Rin were drunk. Oh, boy. A big mix up! With Shima carrying Rin back to the place with Kiyomi helping him out too for Kuro runs on home to know on what he should drink the next time.
"How did I get myself into these messes…?" Shima questions himself.
"Well, at least you're helping Rin out. There's no worries." she said. "I got it when we're at the door. Thanks again."
"For you, Saki, anything I can help you out with…Just say it."
With Rin sleeping and dreaming about him and Yukio when they were young of drawing Shiro a Father's Day picture was sweet and cute to remember. Speaking of Yukio, he and other three exorcists see that Shura's familiar Snake senses the target from the abandoned car to check it out. And once they look inside of it with their guns ready, seems like it was a mess for some people were killed or melted into enough for the power to affect them by Todo's doing. Not good, for he was about to make the next move too by the Shadow King's orders, for he wasn't alone, so were The Trio of Darkness Sisters as well on the other side to carry out their master's orders.
"Understood, Todo. Leave it to us…" said Baha herself to be laughing. "Sisters! Are you ready?"
"Yes, gah!" Meme said.
"Okay!" and Vivi too.
What will happen next? For Rin getting others to care about him again as his friends? Bon to feel better in seeing Tatsuma again? Kiyomi and Zuku freeing themselves from the curse from within them? Todo and the sisters to attack next? Protecting the eye and such…? As Shima goes into his room next for Kiyomi takes care of Rin to clean himself up before bed 'for Zuku and Kuro sleep the night away too'. Kiyomi was ready on hers for they got to sleep in a special room to be in as they were a couple in love very much. For Rin can hold his own liquor 'for a 15-year-old kid' to still be himself.
"Rin, come on. You need to get some sleep." Rin then pulls Kiyomi closes to him to be kisses her all over.
"Kiyomi…" he said to be half awake.
"Rin." she tries freeing herself. "Not now. It's bed time…!"
The two kisses passionately.
"Babe, I love you so much." he said. "Please stay with me tonight. Come cuddling."
"I'll do that. But you need to rest, you drink Shura's beer and you're drunk." she said.
"I know, but I'm not stupid to show you my feelings towards you. Please love me…Kiyomi, I want you to fill me up. In other ways, we can to still be together without it being sex."
"What…?"
Rin holds Kiyomi close to his bed side.
"Please kiss me."
"Rin…Oh, Rin! Hold me!" Kiyomi does it with him. "(I'm scared of this mess from which Zuku and I are in! But I'm not alone! I got Rin with me! I love him so very much…) Take me away."
"I will." he said to be smiling.
For Rin and Kiyomi gets half naked 'with their underwear on only' to really be kissing, holding, touching each other to feel the emotions of love and all, and lots more to really be loving it for Rin to be controlling his flames to glow up in red this time to make Kiyomi feel good all over – for this was a lovely touch and all to make it count in not doing intercourse and all. Close enough, right? Those two really love each other no matter what happens to either one of them – curse or training to control your powers to be friends again. It will happen little at a time; they won't be alone to say the least so that was good enough to know.
"Oh, Rin..."
"Kiyomi…" Rin asks his girlfriend something. "Do you love me?"
"I do…" she said back. "More than anything else."
With her touching Rin's face, he kisses Kiyomi's skin still to be happy to hear.
"Then I was thinking…We can't have sex but do this and be together and wait for the other things until then…Maybe we can…" he had trouble saying it.
"Can what, Rin?"
This was confusing Kiyomi for Rin to spit it out already.
"Let's you and I…Get married!"
Well, that was out of the blue for Rin was being serious about this. But Kiyomi didn't get it at all.
"MARRIED!?" Kiyomi was shocked to speak up too loudly to quiet down in time. "Oh, you're serious?"
"Of course, I am-!" he does the same thing too. "Just not the whole set up, not now…I meant a type of marriage to keep us a couple still to feel like one until it really does happen one day. You know? We'll be living together when we get back and…God! This is so hard! Kiyomi, when the time comes in the future...Will you marry me for real?"
Kiyomi then gets what Rin was getting at.
"I see…Like a long-term relationship marriage for you and I." she explains. "We're together as a marry couple and still ourselves, until one day in the future…Like that type, right?"
"Yeah, that's it!" Rin said to smile about it. "Drunk feeling or not, I'm serious. Will you do it? And then get married in the future? Whenever?'
Kiyomi smiles to be crying with tears of joy to live a life with Rin still and forever in love, so she will do just right and then one-day place for their wedding later.
"Even if I'm still cursed?"
"We'll get that out of you and Zuku in no time, babe." he said.
And so, it was settle for them, Kiyomi makes a ribbon tying thing for her being pink and his blue to keep on his clothing or wrist forever like she was too.
"Then, yes." she said to be holding Rin's hand. "Starting tonight, you and I are a couple. In love and together forever on what we do best, Rin Okumura."
Rin was so happy to be kissing Kiyomi a lot and grabbing her breasts and butt so much and laughing with joy.
"Alright! Thank you! I'm so happy!" he said with joy. "I love you so much, Kiyomi Saki!"
"Oh, Rin…I love you too."
Well, looks like one good news is done to be staying and living together for good 'as a marry couple kind of' but were still dating to be madly in love with each other – yeah! For the two then go to sleep and they were holding each other for no matter what happens to Rin and Kiyomi next, they'll never be appear no matter what to be fixing things. As well as someone was watching out from a far of a hooded man to be wondering around. But was he a Shadow Demon or a friend? Hmm…
